“…Using the multiple-case design analysis (Yin, 2013) and performing 26 interviews in both EEs and collecting secondary data (Pugh et al, 2016;Raunio et al, 2019), we develop a process for comparing two very different EEs and in two institutional and geographical contexts. In doing so we take the extent literature out of the comfort zone by critically analyzing how EE taxonomy may differ conditional on geographical context-Istanbul and Greater Reading.…”

“…By applying the multiple-case design (Yin, 2013), two types of data were collected. Primary data were collected from interviews and secondary data from research centers' websites and blogs, regional reports of LEPs, companies' websites, think-tank reports, brochures, company's newsletters, and conference papers (Baines & Cunningham, 2013;Raunio et al, 2019) as well as conference presentations, business meetings with EE actors, and further team embeddedness in the ecosystem (Eisenhardt, 1989;Spradley, 1980).…”

This study introduces the complementarity perspective to the entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) research as a process to compare the two entrepreneurial ecosystems of Reading (United Kingdom) and Istanbul (Turkey). We apply the multiple‐case design methodology based on the rapid ethnography and the grounded theory to construct two entrepreneurial ecosystem models characterized by different EE taxonomy pillars and embedded in different local and institutional contexts. As a result of the study, two findings emerge. First, we find three distinct complementarities in both EEs: access to resources, effective use of resources, entrepreneurial orientation, and ecosystem awareness. Second, EE taxonomy pillars serve as mediators between ecosystem elements that drive entrepreneurial activity and complementarities. We argue that this approach could be applied to understand how EEs work and develop in regions with heterogeneous economic, geographical, and institutional contexts.

“…It involves the interplay of human and non-human actors with adoption a complex and ongoing process. Understanding the relationship of ICT adoption and family dynamics (Tadpatrikar, Sharma & Viswanath, 2021;Sharaievska, 2017;Romero-Ruiz et al, 2017;Carvalho et al, 2016;Carvalho, Francisco & Relvas 2014), and the linkages among the actors involved in an innovation is key to the improvement and acceptability of digital technology (Raunio et al, 2019). Previous research (Petrescu & Krishen 2019;Midgley et al 2017) confirms the strength in using a diversity of methods and analytics in exploring adoption.…”

In response to the pandemic, many countries have had multiple lockdowns punctuated by partial freedoms limiting physically being together. In 2020-21, during the COVID-19 pandemic parents were stressed and exhausted by the challenges of work, home schooling and barriers to typical childcare arrangements. Children were missing one another, their social lives and the variety of experiences that the world beyond the home brings. Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) offers tried and tested ways to enable children to maintain beyond-household family activities and dynamics. However, it is not viewed as a solution. Instead, as demonstrated through a multiple method study involving a Rapid Evidence Assessment; workshops with 91 teenagers; interviews with 15 experts; a Delphi study with 21 experts; 402 parent questionnaires pre-pandemic; 232 parent questionnaires during the pandemic; and longitudinal interviews with 13 parents during the first UK lockdown in 2020, IVR is not viewed as having value in the home beyond gaming. Results highlight limited consideration of IVR as a way to enhance family life or the home, with a lack of evidence and direction from current research, innovation and policy. The paper empirically demonstrates that experts, teenagers and parents have limited expectations for VR. Further, with parental resistance to adoption and a lack of ideas or innovations in how Immersive Virtual Reality could be used, the likelihood of VR-headset adoption remains low as does its potential as a means of educating, entertaining and socially engaging children and teenagers.
